Cristiano Ronaldo has sent rumor mills into a frenzy by posting a picture on social media platform Instagram with the caption 'Decision day'. The Portuguese superstar has not yet committed his future to Juventus and has been heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still on holiday following his exploits for his country at Euro 2020, but is due to return to Juventus soon to inform the club about his decision. The forward's agent Jorge Mendes is reportedly currently trying to negotiate a one-year extension with the club, but it remains to be seen whether the Bianconeri think on similar lines.

Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is reportedly keen to move on from Cristiano Ronaldo and get him off the club's wage bill. The Italian mastermind wants to bring in a new, younger era to the club, and Ronaldo does not fit the timeline.

The forward has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Real Madrid over the past few months, but it now seems that French giants PSG are favorites for Cristiano Ronaldo's signature this summer.

Juventus are reportedly interested in bringing in PSG's Leandro Paredes to replace Brazilian midfielder Arthur this summer. Max Allegri has apparently lost faith in the former Barcelona man due to his injury record since joining the club last summer.

According to La Republicca, via Football Italia, Juventus are ready to bring in Paredes on a loan deal, with the option of buying the midfielder at the end of the 2021-22 season.

The report also suggests they will try and sign the midfielder regardless of their pursuit of Sassuolo's Manuel Locatelli. The Italian is Juventus' primary target this summer and the club are currently locked in negotiations for the midfielder.
